I don't hate peeps. I used to open them and let them get stall and hard before I ate them though. I don't know, they were just better that way. I guess it was the same concept as putting them in the freezer.I have never really noticed all the odd shapes and colors though. I will have to look next time I am shopping.

I buy Peeps and stick them in the mailboxes of the people I wanna terrorize.Yup.....I do.Sometimes they're flattened to a mere 1/18", sometimes they're stretched and rolled up....sometimes I fold 'em and smoosh 'em and stick toothpicks in 'em....Yup. Voodoo Peeps. LOL

Frozen yellow(not pink!)peeps are a tradition Jesus started...He didn't say "I am risen", he said "Where's my Easter basket?" I can name many things I don't like, but eat anyway, because they have become a part of whatever weird tradition evolved for a given Holiday!

The world famous Peeps diet. A contorted marshmallow twisted and turned into a sugary blob of a holiday icon. I love the Martin Luther King peeps, The Washington and Lincoln Peeps. If you really want to try a delectable delight take about 4 dozen peeps together with tuna fish and put them in a blender and create the smelly fish peeps.How could you not love this cavity producing chemical enduced excuse for food?I even had peeps made into the image and likeness of my ex wife. I put it in the freezer and she remains there to this present day and when she thaws (never happen) I will put her in a glass of 18 year scotch and have Peeps cocktail.

YES...having them frozen, DID make them more bareable! And as a kid, peeps were such "the thing" to have.

The next time you're out at a drug store...see if you can find the holiday section...and you'll notice what I mean about the VAST variety of PEEPS. Oh...and wait til Halloween and Christmas arrive...you'll just DIE!! Snowmen, Christmas trees, Stars, Candycanes, Witches, Cats, Ghosts...oy vey!!

Yes, I found out this morning when answering Casdok's comment that PEEPS are an American delicacy. And PLEASE....you're NOT missing a single thing.

It's basically a marshmallow covered in about 10 pounds of sugar, which has been DYED in every color of the world. They were traditionally ONLY shaped as a little baby chick (thus the name...PEEP). Now, however, commericalism has taken over, and you can get them in EVERY holiday theme!!!!

HIDEOUS!

You can google them and you'll get a better understanding of them.

(but be sure to have a glass of red wine...to add some excitement)

tee-hee!

Thank you dear lady, for stopping by today and getting...PEEPED!

You'll NEVER be the same!?!?

Enjoy your weekend!!!!

peep, peep....

P.S. Oh...and yes, we do have chocolate eggs (coconut) and those I LOVE!!! Also jelly beans.

I've never understood the appeal of peeps. I mean, you are basically biting into aerated sugar. A marshmallow, but worse. But I have come to understand by observing my kids that anything that is sugar-coated is AWESOME! Like you said, to each his own. Don't worry. We don't buy any non-chick peeps around here. :-)

When I was a kid, I use to enjoy sticking my nose into my Easter basket and sniffing the potpourri of odor. The mixture of jelly beans, chocolate eggs, peeps, and plastic grass...use to send me over the EDGE!

YES...I'm sure you've read the comments and have figured out that a Peep is a disgusting, sugar coated marshmallow, that originated as a little baby chick, but has become every known holiday under the sun, here in America!?!?!?

OY VEY!

They're kind of CREEPY!

Thank you SO MUCH for stopping by today to say, Hi...it's always a great treat!

Hey...I don't know exactly when your birthday WAS or IS...but I do hope you had/have a wonderful one!
